When I look at everything President Obama has "accomplished" in nearly 2 1/2 years on the job, I don't have much of an answer to the above question. Consider this:

- Obama has accumulated nearly $4 trillion in new debt since he took office. No President has ever come close to running up debt at this pace. The deficit for this year is estimated to be over $1.6 trillion. What do you think liberals would be saying if Bush was doing this ??? Obama is running up debt twice as fast as Bush did. Obama's budget proposal adds another $9-13 trillion in debt over the next decade, a recipe for economic destruction.

Democrats are mighty happy about the results of a New York special congressional election held on tuesday. In that race, the Democrat candidate, Kathy Hochul, defeated the Republican candidate, Jane Corwin, by a margin of 47-43%. A third candidate, Jack Davis, who ran under the Tea Party banner, got 9% of the vote.

There are two reasons Democrats are smiling today. The first is that the Democrat Hochul won in a district that is considered a Republican majority district. The second is that Hochul made Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) Medicare plan one of her major issues. Corwin supported Ryan's plan. Hochul was against it, and a left-wing group was running ads in New York of a Ryan look-alike pushing grandma over a cliff. (I seem to recall left-wingers being shocked and outraged over violent political imagery a few short months ago. Must have been my imagination). Democrats say Hochul's victory proves Americans reject Ryan's plan. Republicans downplay the Democrat victory, saying the Tea Party candidate siphoned votes away from the Republican candidate, splitting the vote and handing the Democrat a victory. Let's examine these two claims.

Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert set out to prove what liberals already know to be true..that the Citizen's United v. FEC ruling allowing corporate campaign cash into American elections is an outrageously outrageous travesty of a sham of a travesty, and besides, the ruling will most likely result in more campaign funds going to, cringe, pro-business Republicans. No surprise liberals want that outlawed. Only Obama should be able to raise a billion campaign dollars, because he's special. He's a (cue the choir of angels) Democrat. Hosanna in the highest.

Colbert tried to setup a PAC to show how easily money could be used to influence our elections. Much to Colbert's satirical chagrin, he ended up satirizing himself. His efforts to create his PAC were thwarted time and again, as he ran into regulation after regulation governing corporate campaign donating.

I was upset that President Obama took the side of Hamas and the Muslims on the 1967 Israel/Palestine border issue, but then I remembered, the Rapture is coming today and it doesn't matter. Because neither the Jews nor the Muslims believe Jesus is the Messiah, they're both damned. Ha! Who's the infidel now, Bin Laden ?

Speaking of damnation, it's been about, let's see,....43 years since my last confession. I should probably go in for my 100,000 mile soul tuneup. I don't want to look all morally disheveled and uncleansed when I meet Jesus. I think I'll shave and buy some of those Crest Whitening Strips as well. I want to make a good impression. According to Catholic teaching, as long as you confess your sins before you die, you can still get into heaven. Even the worst sinner has a shot, as long as he says "I'm sorry" before his alcoholic, syphilitic, morbidly obese, diseased-riddled body finally goes kaput. And that's what makes Catholicism a great religion.

Mitt Romney wants to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012, but he has a problem. That problem goes by the name RomneyCare. Here's how Wikipedia describes RomneyCare (aka, Massachusetts Health Care Reform):

I have more to say about the Fourth Amendment, so I thought I'd put it in a new post.

The 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) states that any e-mail left in the cloud may be searched by the government without a warrant if it is older than 180 days. Cloud e-mail is e-mail stored on a third party server, as opposed to being stored on your own computer hard drive. The government does need a warrant to search your personal computer hard drive (in theory. I'll come back to this later).

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. - Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

All over the Leftosphere, I'm hearing a huge pile of manure being shoveled regarding former President Bush and Osama Bin Laden. The Leftos are saying Bush didn't care about getting Bin Laden and wasn't even looking for him (I'm not even counting the crazed Lefto conspiracy theorists who think Bush was protecting Bin Laden for some reason). They mainly cite two facts to support their inane hypothesis. First is a statement Bush made in a 2002 press conference:

There's been a hypothesis floating around that the enhanced interrogation techniques implemented by President Bush following 9/11 may have helped get Osama Bin Laden. If you ask the politicians, you get two answers - 1) politicians who are against enhanced interrogation techniques say they didn't help, and 2) politicians who favor enhanced interrogations say they did help. That's about what I'd expect from politicians. They promote their own beliefs.

Politicians do what politicians do, but what do the facts say ? I did some checking.

This title of this post sounds like one of those 1950's science fiction movies. It isn't. It is an actual 2006 prediction from NASA, one of the handful of productive government agencies (another productive government agency took out Bin Laden a few days ago):

At long last, over 9 1/2 years after the 9/11 Al Qaeda attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon killed nearly 3,000 Ameicans, Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. special forces. HOO-RAH !!! Justice has been served.

When it comes to economic issues, Republicans and Democrats see things very differently.

Liberal Democrats bill themselves are being pro-little guy. Liberals want to, as President Obama said to Joe The Plumber, spread the wealth around. Specifically, they want to take from the rich and give to the poor, like Robin Hood. Liberals concern themselves with the redistribution of wealth. That's why liberals engage in class warfare tactics, and believe massive government programs and government spending are needed to carry out their wealth redistribution dreams.
